gonna put this out there:
i've got a pitch i'm shopping about the movie soundtrack album, its unstoppability in the '80s and '90s, how it died at the hands of streaming, and how a few movies (Lion King, Barbie, Twisters, TV Glow) are trying to bring it back
editors, hit me up
see THIS is one of the biggest parts of the story. all those "music from and *inspired by*" soundtracks, where clearly they got a bunch of b-sides. like how does the Batman & Robin soundtrack go so hard???
No names, but we got 2 versions of the same song from 2 different artists.
It, and a Tonight Show /SNL appearance, were the only pure forms of exposure that worked. For catalogue, why not, pending script approval.
I’ve been told that the major catch to airing all those old variety shows is music rights & residuals. LOTS of union music.
Lorne Michael said the 30th anniversary show took 20 minutes to edit & 10 years to clear the music.
